Government of India has targeted a GDP growth rate of 8 to 10% per annum for the Indian economy over the next decade. This growth rate can be achieved only through significant contribution of the service, manufacturing and the agriculture sectors – water is an essential ingredient for all sectors
Natural resource distribution in India also means that several states have poor water availability (E.g. Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu), while in others there is a lot of waste of water due to poor long-term management. This would necessitate emphasis on water management, long term planning and water reuse
Investments in the urban water and sewage sector currently lag behind the minimal requirements. Many industries are adopting water-recycling systems due to environmental regulations and scarcity of water. Leveraging of scarce Government finances, efficient management of water resources, reduction in water losses, water recycling and desalination are the areas that would require maximum attention in the water sector
